2.1.3 AMTOVZ_CSV_LV95 Data

The dataset described is the “Official Index of Localities” (Répertoire officiel des localités) provided by the Swiss Federal Office of Topography (swisstopo). It contains comprehensive information about all localities in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein, including their names, postal codes, and perimeters.

This dataset is regularly updated on a monthly basis, incorporating changes reported by cantonal authorities and Swiss Post. It serves various purposes, including spatial analysis, integration with other geographic datasets, usage as a geolocated background in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and CAD (Computer-Aided Design) systems, statistical analysis, and as a reference dataset for information systems.

Updates and release notes for the dataset are provided periodically, detailing changes and improvements made over time. The Swiss Federal Office of Topography manages and distributes this dataset as part of its responsibilities in collecting and providing official geospatial data for Switzerland.

2.1.3.1 Creating Variable zip_code and merging with AMTOVZ_CSV_LV95

Code 
df <- properties_filtered
#the address column is like : '1844 Villeneuve VD' and has zip code number in it
#taking out the zip code number and creating a new column 'zip_code'
#the way to identify the zip code is to identify numbers that are 4 digits long
df$zip_code <- as.numeric(gsub("\\D", "", df$address))
#removing the first two number of zip code has more than 4 number
df$zip_code <- ifelse(df$zip_code > 9999, df$zip_code %% 10000, df$zip_code)

2.1.3.2 Using AMTOVZ_CSV_LV95 to get the city and canton from the zip code

Code 
#read .csv AMTOVZ_CSV_LV95
amto <- read.csv(file.path(here(),"data/AMTOVZ_CSV_WGS84.csv"), sep = ";")
#creating a new dataframe with 'Ortschaftsname' as 'City'Place_name', 'PLZ' as 'zip_code', 'KantonskÃ.rzel' as 'Canton_code', 'E' as 'lon' and 'N' as 'lat'
amto_df <- amto[, c('Gemeindename', 'PLZ', 'Kantonskürzel', 'E', 'N')]
#renaming the columns
colnames(amto_df) <- c('Community', 'zip_code', 'Canton_code', 'lon', 'lat')

#remove duplicates of zip code
amto_df <- amto_df[!duplicated(amto_df$zip_code),]

#add the variable of amto_df to the df if the zip code matches
df <- merge(df, amto_df, by = "zip_code", all.x = TRUE)

#check if there are nan in city
df[is.na(df$Community),]

Replaces NAs in both Taux de couverture social and Political (Conseil National Datas) For Taux de couverture Social: NAs were due to reason “Q” = “Not indicated to protect confidentiality” We replaced the NAs by the average taux de couverture in Switzerland in 2019, which was 3.2%

For Political data: NAs were due to reason “M” = “Not indicated because data was not important or applicable” Therefore, we replaced the NAs by 0
